    Mech33’s garage remodel with in-ground scissor lift in California

    Thanks! And sorry for the late reply. The EE6503 is still holding up well. The only issue I’ve had is a small leak from the drain plug on the hydraulic fluid reservoir, and I fixed that by purchasing a new plug with an integrated seal. Everything else has been solid. That said I think there...

    Mech33’s garage remodel with in-ground scissor lift in California

    Thanks! I used Lutron Maestro wireless wall switches for the ceiling perimeter lights (1 switch), and the under cabinet lights (1 switch for the left side, 1 switch for the right side). The under cabinet lighting LED driver is hard-wired to the respective wall switch. I have 3 separate...

    I’d imagine so if you don’t mind a glossier finish. A high quality concrete polishing place should be able to advise on a finish that can pass a tape test. Thanks! I haven’t resolved my vise mourning issue yet, though I did buy a vise. My plan is still to have some thick aluminum plate stock...

    Thanks! The garbage can with paper towel dispenser has been awesome. It holds plenty of trash for my use, and it keeps the track can out of the way. I'm really glad I ended up installing that.

    Mech33’s garage remodel with in-ground scissor lift in California

    Thanks! The stained color in the polished concrete is getting peeled up by my car tires. So in the areas where the car is parked, much of the stain is missing. In general if something sticky gets on the floor (like tape), when you peel it off it will take some fine grains of polished concrete...

    Mech33’s garage remodel with in-ground scissor lift in California

    The scissor pads only cover the underside of the car at the edges and between the wheels, so the wheels are left to dangle and be removed while the car is raised, unlike a 4-post without special jack add-ons. It has been great! No complaints about access or functionality. Thanks! I was worried...

    Mech33’s garage remodel with in-ground scissor lift in California

    Thanks! I definitely see a lot of similarities in our builds. :beer: Ask away. :thumbup: As for 2-cars, yes I have parked 2 cars side-by-side in the garage quite a bit. This was actually the main reason I chose a scissor lift instead of a 2-post lift: I wanted to retain the ability to...

    Thanks! The color is Benjamin Moore 2158-30 "delightful golden": http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/delightfulgolden The cabinet height off the floor varies due to the slight slope of the floor relative to the stem wall, but they're generally about 6"-8" off of the floor.

    I've gotten a few PMs about this so I thought I'd post it here: the countertops were purchased from StainlessSupply.com. They did a great job. Packed them up really nicely! Had a pile of wood left over after unpacking. :)
